Seriously devs - the balance

[Concerned4FFxi]

If the content is so hard why is that, since empyreans have been released theres what? 20,000 level 85 empyrean weapons or something? Check the last census, it was crazy. Empyrean weapons have already outpaced relics and mythics combined for total numbers owned. So yea, while I agree some things can change, balance is important. 3-5 man team will get you any empyrean weapon in the game. I personally dual box many of the easier ones. Grab a friend or two, set dates and times, and go work for what you want.

I don't have an e-body but would love one, that's why I'm intereested in doing einherjar. But to just give out this gear or vw drops to everyone thats wants it is not really rewarding at all. Theres many content now that is very easy to do and low manable, what is the point of me working towards it if I can just go buy it with points? I understand the whole ls point system bs, but theres got to be another way of doing it then just having it available for purchase that is no fun at all. Wheres the excitement of killing odin and the rare drop and winning a lot or something? If anything, the game has changed to serve the majority of player base which is the casual player.

As it stands right now there is NO ENDGAME. But I still play, I'm doing the grind thing too, and getting stuff out the way that I can do now, while leveling jobs and getting gear that I have access to and am waiting to see the new endgame. All the content is getting redone, and it makes total sense to do so. Not everyone has abyssea and at 99 why wouldn't older content be made somewhat useful again?

As for VW i agree the drops are bad, perhaps upping the amount of single heavy metal plates to the loot pool instead of ores and logs would do something for VW. By increasing singles, it still preserves the balance of making a 95 empyrean insanely hard to get, but also rewards everyone doing the run by at least getting something decent for their 3-4hours of time that was invested in said event/shout. I have yet to see a plate, and the only rare/ex i got was a mask off the sandy t4 months again, which I muled. I've do jueno t3's alot and havent recieved anything but logs and ores.

As for the 3 kings being KS99, I like the idea floating in this thread where the nq is a a time spawned HNM and has the same drop rate for the hq pop as the ksnm99. Personally, I'd probably not camp it but it should be available to those who want to do so.

As for WOE, the spells where said to not be that easy to get, I seen a Dev response. And it makes sense, that not all your 91+ spells would NOT be hand outs or easily attainable. I like seeing a blm that's not me casting comet/thunder V/blizzaja and me saying to myself, that <bastard sword>. I have none of the 91+ spells for blm or whm, and you know what? I'm fine with that, I bought a Saevus Pendant when it was dirt cheap, and a wizzan strap as well. Now that the prices went up, I'll have to wait on replacing my witch stone. You know why? I still do insane damage with blizzard V/Fire V/thunder IV and there magian staves. It will be very rewarding to me once I have all spelss again, but that's a day in the future that I'm looking forward to and working towards. I dont have to have everything right now.
